Watch J Orman on the third horse at Ipswich in the last Today. For some unaccountable reason he ducks in behind a slow horse at the 250 metre mark when his horse is about to get into the action. The dopes who masquerade as Stewards didn't even ask the question. What are they getting paid for ?

Yes he has slipped many rungs since his days as a gun apprentice. Even John Hawkes wanted him in Sydney in those days. Also watch the ride of Jay Ford on one called Ottamae in Race 6 at Gosford Today. Misses the kick slightly and then steers it in to every bum possible after that. In prior times we had a nice turn of phrase for a ride like that. No good asking the Stewards they haven't the foggiest.

Race 5: Class 1 Handicap 1000mFloki – slow to begin, then raced in restricted room for some distance afterentering the home straight. Then had to be steadied and shifted in afterfailing to obtain a narrow run between Oakfield Time and Final Frontiernear the 250m. S Lisnyy (Oakfield Time) was found guilty of a charge ofcareless riding (AR137a), in that inside the 100m, he allowed his mount toshift in whilst riding it along when not clear of Floki, resulting in Floki beingcrowded onto the running rail, being checked, blundering and losing itsrightful running. S Lisnyy’s license to ride in races was suspended for aperiod to commence 1/9/17 and expire 9/9/17, on which day he mayresume. The determined penalty of a suspension of 7 meetings wasmitigated to allow for S Lisnyy’s record and a 10% contribution applied tothe racing manners of Floki, which displayed a level of reluctance tocontinue to improve quickly, when racing inside Oakfield Time.Oakfield Time – hung out rounding the home turn.

Take your point about R Fradd. I was at the Deagon trials this morning and everything he rode travelled out near the car park . Must be in his DNA. Take a tip though, drop off Sweet Red Wine. I know the stable thought it had some ability before it got to the track.Doubt they still have the same opinion.

Just watching replays, geez Glyn Schofield on the Appleby horse Kidmenever was a terrible misjudgement of pace from a senior jock. Surely you tuck in and cuddle the horse a bit if you've worked early but he was off at the 600m..

Happy Clapper – After obtaining evidence from jockey B Shinn and trainer Mr P Webster, an inquiry into B Shinn's riding in the early stages and again over the final 200m was adjourned to a date to be fixed.

Sir Isaac Newton (GB) - connections advised would lead; led. Near the 400m had to be checked to avoid the heels of Amelies Star when crowded by Single Gaze (Kathy OHara). When questioned regarding the tactics adopted today, rider Katelyn Mallyon explained that whilst mindful of her instructions to lead it was never her intention to lead by such a big margin but her mount took charge in the middle stages and the more she restrained her mount the more it resented it and refused to settle. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.

A shocker of a ride watching the film it didn't look to be pulling and finished 20 lengths last maybe she was the pacemaker for Johannes Vermeer..... one of the few mistakes the caller made calling Amelie's Star last ...she was still boxing on half way down the straight perhaps Sir Isaac Newton was too far back for him to see.
